If i get a body kit and some 17 or 18 inch rims will i still need to drop my car? I don't want a big gap but i figured that with a body kit and 18's there wouldn't be much of a gap. So if anyone can help me out that would be great

Re: Looks or speed?
 

gap between what.... the bottom of the car and the ground? or the tire and the fender? explain more. if it was to be the body kit and the ground... do some looking around at some of the other cars... i.e. majik's (i dont think he has a lowering kit) oh and go look at peter's tib... it has the zefiro turby body kit on it (only has about 3 inches between him and the ground w/ stocker rims and tires.

I'm Sorry about that i wasn't thinking when i typed this out. But i meant the gap between the tire and the fender. sorry

I say you will need a lowering kit. Usually when people get bigger rims they get lower profile tires that keep the overall diameter of the wheel the same so the space between the tire and fender will be the same as stock. If you get bigger tires so the overall diameter of the wheel is bigger than stock you won't need a lowering kit as much but your speedometer will be off.

Yep, your car would look better lowered with larger diameter wheels.
Eibach springs are pretty good. I have 17's with the Eibachs and never scrape the fender even when I go over dips.

You might end up realising you are wayyy too near the ground with both a bodykit and lowering springs... I don't know where you live but where I live, you could just as well paint R.I.P. on your brand new bumper.

It depends on what body kit you got to if you look at mine with the veilside kit and 18's on it there is no need to lower it my sig is at the bottom if u wanna look but some of the other kits dont look right if you dont lower your car its all personal prefferance and where you wanna drive your car
